Tyler Tichelaar had written a perceptive blog-essay on this aspect of Forster’s art and life as seen in Maurice. I wrote about Sean O’Connor’s book Straight Acting where he described his and other […]

Comment on The Lady of the Shroud: Bram Stoker’s Failed Return to Dracula’s Roots by gothicwanderer https://thegothicwanderer.wordpress.com/2018/11/02/the-lady-of-the-shroud-bram-stokers-failed-return-to-draculas-roots/comment-page-1/#comment-1056
Wed, 07 Nov 2018 01:30:01 +0000http://thegothicwanderer.wordpress.com/?p=439#comment-1056Thanks for the comment. Yes, it is a book that had so much possibility, but after Dracula, it feels like just a shadow of a story. It was written just before the Balkan wars so certainly concern over the Austo-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire are both there. I wonder whether Stoker felt it was inferior to his other books. Dracula didn’t really become a culture icon until the 1931 movie so I doubt he ever realized the power Dracula had and how it would preempt the others. It certainly had more purpose in the drive to save the world from Dracula than The Lady of the Shroud to rescue the heroine from the Turks.

Wed, 07 Nov 2018 00:48:29 +0000http://thegothicwanderer.wordpress.com/?p=439#comment-1055It seems to me that there are so many elements that might have been interesting but somehow aren’t. For example, the connections with “the Turks:” Is this European fear of the Austro-Hungarian empire? Death stalks all Stoker’s fiction, but the characters need actually to be dead — meant to be comic. Edgar Allen Poe went into swoons over dead ladies. And the use of interesting fictional subjective techniques. It’s lacking some inner reason or impetus for it to exist beyond wanting to publish something or other?
